Feature Article...with Guest Author: Jenni Madison

Trust in You.

Meditation with Mother Nature's Magic.

Knowing and trusting in something that is bigger than us, and having the humility to receive and be guided from within, is one of the greatest blessings we can give to ourselves. It really does allow us to give life the fullness, the appreciation and the meaning it deserves.

Meditation is often referred to as a tool to relax and calm the mind. As much as I agree that this is true, I also believe that the real purpose of meditation is to consciously connect. To connect with that part of ourselves and our universe that is sacred and divine. Within the depth of this connection, we are free from the usual thought patterns, daily concerns and emotional triggers that take us away from the present moment.

It is only in the present moment that we have power. That is the peace, calm, and clarity that allow us to dance to our own rhythm, and trust in the beautiful flow of life.

Meditation allows your intentions to be received by your subconscious, which is where manifestation actually occurs. By giving yourself the time and the space to meditate, you are creating an awareness and depth that touches your soul very deeply. Then when you come back into action and creation mode, life can be in flow as the blessings continue to appear.

Meditation for You to Do
To begin your meditation, sit comfortably with your back straight, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Relax as you feel the life force of this breath enter inside of you and then release. Continue to breathe gently in this way and invoke the Presence of the Divine. This is a time to be present, ask, receive and trust. It is a time to relish your relationship with yourself, and with what you refer to as your divine. Feel and appreciate the presence that surrounds you, and that is now within you.

I choose to meditate on the following three intentions as I believe they lead toward freedom and harmony, and that is our personal and collective wellbeing. This is also the essence that covers everything I could possibly desire.

Self-love: Self-love is our only true protection form the shadow of self and others. I ask that I can love myself deeply. So that I am free from the insecurities that burden and project this need onto others, and I can give and receive love generously in my relationships. With self-love I can accept life with grace and take nothing personally. I then imagine energy flowing in through my crown chakra and out through my heart. I hold my heart energy and appreciate the love that I am. Essential oils – jasmine, Acceptance*, geranium, Joy*.

Radiant Health: With great health we can have it all. I trust and am grateful that my body restores itself naturally to perfect health. If I am feeling any pain or discomfort in any area of my body I imagine the sacred energy flowing toward this area as it is healing. Essential oils – Panaway*, Deep Relief*, Peppermint, Cypress.

Abundance: I enjoy abundance as a feeling of inner fulfilment and joy. Here I ask that all of my material needs are met and that I need for nothing. I am aligned with the will of heaven as I open my heart and hands to receive the beauty of this world. Essential oils – Abundance*, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Gathering*.

I then ask for others to also receive the blessings of the above three intentions.

Time in meditation is amazing, it is the essence of being alive. You really can do this anywhere and at any time, all it requires is your presence and your intent. This sacred space is paradoxically personal and universal.

Mother Nature’s Magic – Essential Oils and Coconut Oil
Pure essential oils such as frankincense and sandalwood ignite your awareness into being grounded and present in the moment. This is helpful for meditation with intent. The healing power of pure coconut oil nurtures your connection to mother nature. By massaging essential oils with a pure base of coconut oil gently onto your body, around your forehead and temples, you are nourishing and nurturing your personal wellbeing. These oils support a calm and connected space for deep meditation to occur.

Important: Jenni and Jen only uses and recommends Young Living Essential Oils and Coconut Magic Coconut Oil. All the information above is based on using Young Living Essential Oils - The World Leaders in Essential Oils. *Young Living Essential Oil Blend.

I use cinnamon as a base for a spicy and exotic essential oil perfume! I ALWAYS mix it with V6* carrier oil as cinnamom is a HOT oil! Believe me, within a couple of minutes of applying it, you know you are wearing it, if it isn't diluted.

I love to mix it with any of the following: orange, frankincense, spruce, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood.

Cinnamon essential oil is also yummy in food. I make a mix of raw nuts, some agave, cook in a non-stick pan until the agave goes like toffee then take off the heat and add a drop or two of cinnamon essential oil. Make some clusters on non-stick paper and let cool then - Yum! Yum!
